Scientists Use AI to Learn the Language of Biomolecules
Scientists at the University of Glasgow have developed a new machine learning model to translate the language of proteins using a powerful supercomputer.
The team developed a large language model (LLM), called PLM-Interact, to better understand protein interactions and predict which mutations will impact how these molecules interact with each other.
The model, PLM-Interact, outperforms competing models in understanding and predicting how proteins interact with one another.
- The model was developed using a supercomputer normally used by astronomers and physicists.
- The study was published in Nature Communications.
The University of Glasgow's cross-disciplinary team harnessed the power of AI to advance our understanding of protein interactions.
